I've been in a life like limbo, lookin' out of a smudged up window We're not sure where our life's at going, friends It's summer outside but yet we're snowed in Don't know where our next dollar's coming from Living the life of a poor musician Headline is strong so it keeps us 9 to 5 Put me brothers there as a means to stand alive If it wasn't for the rhythm I think we would have given up by now This system has got the best of me Now I pray for God to invest in me My dignity, invest his glory Give me strength so I can finish his story Keep on searching for the right way to go out Cause going out is what it's all about You can't be passive, gotta be active Can't go with what looks attractive Gotta learn all I can while I may go Headliner expresses his feelings on those turntables When we get our chance To make a good living off the music we program We won't sell out just to be sold out Brothers and sisters, do you know what I'm yapping about? Cause if they take away our contract We still got talent and we still got contact Cause we worked real hard to get this far We were catching a bus before we bought the car, you see Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever Gotta get political, I political I gotta get, roll but can't hold my own So this government needs to be overthrown Brothers with the AKs and the 9Ms Need to learn how to correctly shoot em Save those rounds for a revolution Poor whites and blacks bum rushing the system But I tell you ain't no room for gangsters Cause gangsters do dirty work and get pimped by mobsters Some fat Italian eating pasta, lobster Brothers getting jailed and mobsters on the coppers So you say you want out of the ghetto First the political prisoners must be let go And you must let go of your power master My liquor got you licked, it's your powerful master You'll never get out without much discipline Raise your fists but also raise your children So when you die the movement moves on Cause with the revolution ain't no future in front of y'all Direct your anger love, nothing's ever built on hate Instead love, love your life, tackle the government The streets that break down the door are heaven sent And my phrase went Give old man a fish and he'll eat for a day Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever Give old man a fish and he'll eat for a day Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever Give old man a fish and he'll eat for a day Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever Give old man a fish and he'll eat for a day Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever Old man a fish and he'll eat for a day Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever Old man a fish and he'll eat for a day Old man a fish and he'll eat forever Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever Old man a fish and he'll eat forever Old man a fish and he'll eat forever Rhythm makes your body move Rhythm makes your mind move Rhythm makes your elbows move Rhythm makes back behind move Rhythm makes the people move Rhythm makes your watch move Rhythm makes your mind swoop You know next stop is Jerusalem
